Sure, some things I may ask you to do during your shoot may feel strange or even downright goofy. To some. Maaaaaybe.

That’s where trust comes into play because I promise, there’s a reason for all of that. During a photoshoot, images pop into my head based on what I see in front of me — the quality of light, patterns and textures in the environment, and the people I am photographing. The best “directing” is when they feel more like spontaneous ideas between friends than directions.

Plus, it helps to know I am right there with you. Through it all. Laughing… being silly… being serious.
